Nike Soccer – U.S. National Team 2012/2013 Men’s and Women’s Home Kit

Drawing inspiration from the American flag, Nike Soccer for the first time release similarly designed jerseys for both the U.S. Men’s and Women‘s 2012/2013 Home Kit. Balanced between a blue collar and shorts, the red and white striped top also retains the subtle tonal sash worn by the Men’s National Team when they famously defeated England in the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Both kits are also identically constructed with fabric that is 23 percent lighter and is treated with Nike Dri-Fit technology that, when combined with the laser-cut ventilation holes, help to better regulate temperatures on the pitch. These red and white’s are also very green; each is made using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles and at least 96% recycled polyester throughout the kit. The U.S. Men’s team will debut the new kit when they face Scotland on May 26 at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla while the U.S. Women will don their new threads for the first time against China on May 27 at PPL Park in Chester, Pa.
